The EQ Foundation – annual review 2020/21

We are delighted to share with you The EQ Foundation Annual Review 2020/21 with details of all of the grants awarded during the year

Marketing Director

We are committed to providing clear information on our grant-making efforts and the impact achieved. Our annual report outlines The EQ Foundation’s donations to charities and their respective activities.

Highlights for the year include:

  • Record amount of more than £550,000 donated
  • This was more than doubled by donations from others resulting from our action
  • Functionality of GivingisGreat.org was enhanced and web traffic has increased tenfold
  • A new donations platform – Tythe.org – was launched.

The EQ Foundation donated more than in any previous year, partly in response to the increased need resulting from
the pandemic and partly to support some additional causes.

We carried out a rigorous review process on each of the charities supported in the previous year and have been delighted by how they have adapted by the change in circumstances. None appear to be at risk of failing and many have been providing a lifeline to those in desperate need throughout this time.
